The Foundation of All Good government


In his speech at the Prohibition camp-meeting
at Glyndon, 4th district, on Sunday last, Hon.
John B. Finch, of Illinois, told some very plain
truths that it would be we'll for the people to read
and remember. He said:
Intelligence and morality are at the founda-
ton of all good government. Ignorance may be
massed by corrupt intelligence and voted as a
mass. Intelligence thinks for ITSELF A political
boss might buy one man on that temperance camp
platform but if the seller tried to deliver any vote
but his own he would be sadly left. But the boss
could 20 down into the slums of a city and buy
the votes of 100 bummers, and he would be sure
of the delivery of every fthose hundred votes
Is not the grogshop the school of ignorance and
corruption, and do not ignorance and corruption
endanger the liberties of the country? How
then do honest and intelligent citizens answer to
their consciences if by their votes they support
the grogshop? We attack the grogshop because
to support it is to be traitor to pure govern
ment and republican liberty. The citizen who
leaves the agents of the grogshops, the products
of the slums, to control primary elections because
he will not come into contact with such scum, is
himself political deadbeat. He enjoys the
benefits of government, and does nothing to en-
title him to do 80. The man who sells his vote
ought never to be allowed to vote again. Thou
sands who have graduated in grogshops have
sold their votes for So q vote, and some for o
single drink. IA voice: "And they ore not sat-
isfed with one vote."] And the man who buys
these votes is than the seller. For the vote
buyer is certain to be vote-seller. He is doubly
guilty. He buys his way to Office only to sell
himself at higher price. l stand here to pro-
test against system of politics that is wrecking
American institutions and American liberty. I
have seen seven dead policemen murdered by
dynamite fends, whose bloody deeds were planned

The Cost Of Fencing Against Stock.
Easton (Md,) LedS

Atthelast meeting of the Still Pond Agricultural
Club, Kent county, committee appointed to as
certain the number of stock running the roads.
within territory then bounded, reported but mir.
COWS and two horses, and most of these were
owned by parties holding land and able to keep
them The club then figured out the following
results
Miles of road within said limits, 20 number OF
panels of fence required to fence the roads both
sides, 80 624 cost at one dollar per panel, $50 624
So it appears it costs this neat sum to fence
against these nine cows and two horses or S2,7S4
to fence against one of these animals. This show
ing is certainly food for thought. The farmer, in
the purchase of his land, buys to the middle of
the road and pays taxes on it. Is it not crying
shame that he should be compelled, at such an
enormous cost, to fence against few COWS that
trespass on his own land? F.? Thore is no reason or
justice in this state of things and it is only ques-
tion of time as to when all these fences will be
moved and each party owning an animal will be
compelled to keep it from trespassing on his neigh
bors The worthy poor should be cared for in
some other way. The farmer will be as liberal as
any other class in aims giving, but should not
burthen himself in this unwarranted and unrea-
sonable manner. The law only requires him to
conine his own stock on his own premises. This
is enough, and this is all he will do in the near
future The injustice is too glaring to be borue
much longer the tax is too heavy for his purse.
permanent pasture will provide for the neces-
sites of his own stock and he can dispense with
nine ter tbs of the cost of fencing. The following
resolution was then unanimously passed.
Resolued, That it is the sense of this meeting
that it would be economical to the farmer to dis
pense with all fencing, except what may be neces-
sary to keep his own stock in place or from tres
passing.

NEWS NOTES FROM WASHINGTON.

-Full-length life-size portraits of Lincoln and
Jefferson have been hung in the East Room of
the White House.
John MoKenna, of Troy. New York, has been
appointed chief usher at the White House, in place
of E. S. Densmore, resigned.
There are nearly six thousand licensed dogs
in the city of Washington, and perhaps double
that number that are unlicensed.
Mrs Cleveland and her mother left Washing
ton on Tuesday for Marion, Massachusetts, where
they will spend some time with the family of Gen.
A. w. Greedy.
"A movement is on foot in Washington to in
duce Congress to provide for the purchase of a
suitable tract of land near that city for a grand
national parade ground.
The newspaper people have found out that the
material in Secretary Lamar's pantaloons cost
$3.50 yard. But we can't see that that is any
thing against the Secretary.
Secretary Lamar has taken the Northern
Bourbons by the throat, so to speak, by publicly
promenading the streets of Washington with the
colored Bishop Turner, of Georgia.
Mrs. Gen. Logan, who was injured some time
ago in a runaway accident, has returned to her
home in Washington. Her shoulder was dislo-
Gated and she is still suffering very much.
The revenues of the Government for the
month of July amounted to over $32, ,000, 600, an
average Of more than $1,0O0,O00 per day. The
expenditures for the same month, including $11,
| 10000 paid for pensions, were $25, $780, 600.
Charles Rau, who was for many years con-
nected with the Smithsonian Institute, and who
died recently, lived the life of q miser, cooking
and sleeping in small apartment in the build
ing. He left considerable fortune, which goes
to relatives in Germany.
There was received at the War Department a
few days ago curious relic of Indian barbarism
consisting of necklace of human fingers strung
together. This curious affair was captured in an
attack on the Northern Cheyennes in 1875, and
each finger is said to represent life taken by the
big medicine man Of the tribe.
The President is being very much invited just
now nearly every Western city of any size having
been after him with delegations pressing him to
come and partake of their hospitality next fall
He has already accepted some of them and de-
clined others. 1t is likely his proposed Western
trip will be quite an extended one.
The committee appointed to examine the
books and accounts of George w. Evans. fnan-
cial and disbursing officer of the Interior Depart
ment, covering the period between May 1st, 1885,
and July 18th, 1887, find that the disbursements
aggregated so, 4363.13, every cent Of which is
fully accounted for. This is the heaviest dis.
bursting Office under the Government, its financial
operations in the last twenty years amounting to
over 800 000, 900, and there has never been loss
to the Government of even one cent.

LETTER FROM CAMP LLOYD.
CAMP LLOYD, COMPANY I,

HAGERsTowN, Nd, August Sd, 1887.
Messrs Editors The Towson Guards arrived
safely at camp about o'clock a. m, Tuesday, 70
inst. Company I was honored by having Capt
Chas. B. MCLEAN made officer of the day for the
First Regiment; lieutenant of the guard, G. w
Gray, of Company B. They were also honored by
having Sergt. George H. Horne appointed color
sergeant for the regiment, with Corpl. G. Wilson
Seipp as one Of the color guard.
The men are very we'll satisfied with the way
they are treated and would like to stay here all the
summer if they were allowed.
Rain prevented our having dress parade on
Tuesday but we were taken out in battalion drill
this morning by Lieut.. Chew, commanding, Sergt
Seipp acting as lieutenant, and acquitted our
selves like soldiers and men.
Corpl. Bayne, with Privates G. Bowen, L. Gran
ston and W. Burns, formed part of the guard for
the first twenty-four hours, and by remaining
firmly at their posts during heavy rain gained
respect and praise from their officers.
The people of Towsontown and vicinity need
never be ashamed of their company, but by letting
them know that they are appreciated the men will
try and succeed in being well drilled and acting
at all times as gentlemen.
At sick call last night some of the boys fell in
and marched to the surgeons tent for their qunine
and when they came back were making awfully
wry faces.
We have the largest regiment in the camp
Company I, Capt. Chas. B. MCLEAN, 80 muskets
Company X, Capt. G. 7. Robinson, 35 muskets
Company C, Capt. E. D. Danner, 35 muskets
Company B, Capt Lane, 43 muskets; Company
A, Capt. Oh. S. Beckley, 36 muskcts; Company
G, Lieut.. Wells, 36 muskets; Company H, Lieut.
Warden, 81 muskets; total, 254 muskets. The
Fifth Regiment has about IT'S men.
The First Regiment all accord in giving Col. II
Kyd Douglas the praise in being thorough officer
and gentleman, and feel highly honored by having
him as our colonel.
Hoping you will give this letter space in your
columns and let the community at large know that
,oe have the largest regiment in camp and not the

THE SUBJECT OF FINES AND COSTS

WAvERLY, 9TH DISTRICT, Aug. 1, 1887.
Editors Union All good citizens, whatever
their political affiliations may be, have direct in.
terest in the maintenance of high standard oi
party morals and in the selection OF parties ap-
pointed, who, If chosen to fill the positions, are
expected and desired that they will discharge their
duties creditaby and with strict regard for the
public good. A few days ago an argument took
place between two prominent citizens of Waverly
on the question of the fairness and legality of fines
and costs put upon parties by the justices of the
peace when arrested on certain charges. Now,
we will suppose a case: A man is arrested on the
road, charged with being drunk and disorderly.-
He is brought before the justice of the peace and
is obliged to pay 1926, being the amount OF fine
cost is paid the policeman for making the arrest,
while he is already paid salary of So per day for
performing the duty which he has bsen employed
to do; therefore getting seventy y-fve cents extra
for having done nothing more than his duty and
what he is already paid for. Now, Messrs. Edi-
tors the question is, is this legal? We are well
aware that constable gets nothing but what he
makes, as he does not get regular salary, and in
our opinion he is entitled to his seventy-ve cents
when an arrest is made by him.
A test came before Judge Fowler two or three
years ago: A Justice of the peace in Waverly
compelled man to pay the 1895 and the man
brought the case to court. When brought before
Judge Fowler tho justice pleaded ignorance of the
law. Judge Fowler said that justice was ex-
pected to knou the law, but as he had pleaded
Ignorance he would dismiss the that time, but
that should case of the same kind eUer be brought
before him again he would make an example OF
the Justice of the peace, whoever he may be.
Now, Messrs. Editors, you will oblige the citi-
zens of Waverly if you will have the kindness to
grant an answer in your valuable paper.

A Bird that Sings and Sings.

There's a lively little creeter which is known as
Amos Keeter and it couldn't be much feet
er if it tried
1t is ever sweetly singing while about you, swiftly
winging, seeking out place for singing
through your hide
In gore It's ever wadin', lanced from grandam
and from maiden, till its veins are over
laden with the stuff;
And yet, though rich its diet, the small creeter
ne'er is quiet, and you really can't come
nigh it-which is tuff
You think you're sure to lam it, and against the
! wall you jam it, but you'll sadly mutter
dammit, as it skips;
Oh, smart is Amos Keeter, on your very nose he'll
teeter, and he says "this is my meet er" as
he nips.
Confound the wretched creature he swells your
every feature, as he bleeds you like leech
